    Yunus Emre

    (1238-1320)
    Yunus Emre is a pioneer of mysticism in Anatolia and of using the Turkish language in
    poetry. Where and when he was born is not known exactly but most sources state that he
    was born in 1238, belonged to a Turkish family who immigrated to Anatolia and died in
    1320.
    Yunus Emre studied at madrasah; learnt Arabic and Persian; became interested in Iranian
    and Greek mythology and analyzed the history of mysticism. He became Tapduk Emre's
    student when he was young and traveled in Anatolia for a long time to introduce Tapduk
    Emre's philosophy to the Anatolian people.
    With the religious system he developed, he became one of the prominent scholars in the
    history of Islam. This belief, which is called Vahdet-i Vcud (unity of existence), internalizes
    the essence of the Koran, trying to comprehend and explain the secrets of "one and only
    creator" to the community. Some verses of Yunus Emre reveal that Mevlana Celalettin
    Rum, who died in Konya in 1273, had an influence on him.
    The infinite tolerance of Yunus Emre was also reflected in his understanding of art. He
    associated religious and national values in his verse. He mentioned mystical concepts by
    using the most beautiful and outstanding features of the Turkish language. Yunus Emre
    reaches ordinary people by the way he expressed his feelings and thoughts. Nearly all of
    the concepts like ethics, religion and love are embraced by mysticism in the verse of Yunus
    Emre.
    In Yunus Emre's opinion, becoming a dervish means becoming mature in a mystical train of
    thought. In addition to this, this state is love; is acceptance by God, is controlling the will
    and overpowering it; is opposing fighting, evil thinking, showing off, enmity and formalism.
    The poet emphasizes that everyone deserves to be loved irrespective of the differences in
    religion, sect, race, nationality, color, position and class.
    That Yunus Emre is the pioneer of the use of the Turkish language in poetry in Anatolia
    bears importance with regard to our history of literature. This facilitated the mystical way
    of thinking to become comprehensible for readers.
    Yunus Emre has two well-known works: "Risalet-n Nushiyye" is a mystic, morally related
    and religious work written as a mesnevi (rhyming couplets) with prosodic meters. The
    other one "Divan" was compiled some 70 years after his death. Some of his poems that

    were confused with the works of other poets, who lived many years later and whose
    names were also "Yunus Emre", were analyzed in terms of style and use of language and it
    was considered that some 357 poems belonged to him.
    UNESCO dedicated 1991 to Yunus Emre, as "The International Yunus Emre Year".
